Silence, Language, & Society
A guide to style and meaning, grace and compassion

"a remarkable little volume"  Midwest Book Review

"Silence Language & Society ... is an elegant little book, and I am very pleased to own it."  Joseph Epstein

"Robert Hartwell Fiske is one of the most quotable writers alive, and Silence, Language & Society positively oozes epigrammatic sentences from every page. If you like great writing, and if you enjoy reading pithy observations about language, literature, and life, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of this book."  Slade Allenbury
